Asked By:Donnalin in Tulsa, OK

I had botox because I clinch my jaws at night. The 6th day after I had it done I noticed my lip on my right side drooped a little when I smiled and by the next day I can barely smile and when I do it looks horrible. I have line by my mouth and look older than I did. Is this permanent?
